Courtney Love: "I want to save Ke$ha"

Courtney Love has declared that she wants to "save" Ke$ha from music industry bosses who she believes want to tone the singer down.

The Hole star has previously praised the 'TiK ToK' newcomer but has now said that she wants to "school her" after becoming concerned that record label executives might try to "mould" Ke$ha into a less-controversial artist.

Posting on her Twitter page, Love wrote: "Ke$ha is in dire need of a vibe that matches her... shes being moulded into something not her that will fail. I want to save her... f**k Ke$ha I need to school her... Ke$ha I will save you (sic)."

Love continued: "[Ke$ha] sweetheart you make me go all maternal, I want to save you from the jaws of impermanence and soul death... When I watched the Youtube of [Ke$ha I saw] a lost little soul... the u tube had a lady from [record label] RCA /Jive/[CEO] Barry [Weiss's] nightmare correcting her every time she spoke, they grabbed pushed and she'll be gone."
